Each week, WAMU 88.5's Metro Connection reaches across D.C., Maryland and Virginia to gather the sounds and stories that capture the current events, culture and personalities driving the Washington region.

When D.C.'s Capital Bikeshare program started last year, bike shop owners worried they would lose business, but those same owners now say Bikeshare has made cycling so popular that they are getting more customers, not fewer.

A new study finds that, as a nation, we are increasingly choosing to marry partners of a race that's different than our own. But here in the District, some daters say there are still major obstacles to meeting a potential partner of a different race.

When you give to WAMU, your tax-deductible membership gift helps make possible award-winning programs such as Morning Edition, All Things Considered, The Diane Rehm Show, The Kojo Nnamdi Show, and other favorites.
